Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile machine for recording on cut paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional facsimile apparatus, when transmitting a cut sheet of recording paper, the transmission length in the sub-scanning direction is measured, and if it exceeds a predetermined value, it is divided into a plurality of sheets and then transmitted or reduced. Devices for transmitting are known.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional facsimile apparatus, only long originals are divided or large-sized originals are reduced, and vertical / horizontal conversion is performed depending on the recording capability of the receiver. No control was performed to combine or combine multiple pieces of information.

Therefore, for example, when the reading length in the main scanning direction on the transmitter side is 297 mm and an A4 original is transmitted, if A3 recording is possible as the recording capacity of the other device in the main scanning direction, the other side is recorded as A3 information. Was sent to the machine.

Further, when A3 recording is not possible and A4 recording is possible as the recording capability of the other device in the main scanning direction, the A4 original is reduced and transmitted so that the main scanning direction becomes 210 mm.

For this reason, there is a drawback that half of the recording paper is wasted when recording on the A3 recording paper, or the A4 original is reduced and recorded on the A4 recording paper.

An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile apparatus capable of performing image transmission by a method most suitable for the reading direction of a transmission original.

The values of the means for counting the number of pages on the transmitter side and the means for counting the number of pages on the receiver side on the machine side are different, the receiver is 297 mm in the main scanning direction, and there is no recording ability on A4 recording paper. And main scanning direction When there is no recording capacity of 297 mm and there is a recording capacity of 210 mm in the main scanning direction, there are a means for counting the number of pages on the transmitter side and a means for counting pages on the receiver side. A facsimile machine characterized in that the values match. 4. In claim 1, when the reading length in the main scanning direction on the transmitter side is 210 mm,
When the receiver has a recording capability of 210 mm in the main scanning direction, the A4 original information is transmitted as 210 mm in the main scanning direction, and the receiver has no recording capability of 210 mm in the main scanning direction and is 297 mm in the main scanning direction. In the case of the recording ability on the recording paper, the information of the A4 original is vertically and horizontally converted and transmitted at 297 mm in the main scanning direction, and the receiver does not have the recording ability of 210 mm in the main scanning direction and 297 mm in the main scanning direction. When there is no recording ability on the A4 recording paper and there is a recording ability of 297 mm in the main scanning direction, the information of the A4 original is vertically and horizontally converted, and vertically and horizontally converted A
A facsimile machine, which combines two 4 originals and sends them as one A3 original. 5. The transmitter according to claim 1, wherein the transmitter has means for counting the number of pages on the transmitter side and means for counting the number of pages on the receiver side, and main scanning on the transmitter side. When the reading length in the direction is 210 mm, when the receiver has a recording capacity of 210 mm in the main scanning direction,
Alternatively, when the receiver does not have a recording capacity of 210 mm in the main scanning direction and has a recording capacity of 297 mm in the main scanning direction and has recording capacity on A4 recording paper, the number of pages on the transmitter side possessed by the transmitter side is counted. The value of the means and the value of the means for counting the number of pages on the receiver side are the same. When the recording capacity of 297 mm in the main scanning direction is provided, the values of the means for counting the number of pages on the transmitter side and the means for counting the number of pages on the receiver side are different from each other. Facsimile machine.
